FACTORIAL DESIGNS F Terms for Factorials F Types of Factorial Designs F Notation for Factorials F Types of Effects F Looking at Tables of Means F Looking at Graphs of Means
3
Terms for Factorials F level: value of an IV F condition: combination of levels of two or more IV’s F factor: another name for IV
4
Factor A Factor B Level 1Level 2 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 condition
5
Types of Factorial Designs F between subjects F within subjects F mixed
6
Between Subjects B 1 2 A 12 Subjects 1-10 Subjects 11-20 Subjects 31-40 Subjects 21-30
7
Within Subjects B 1 2 A 12 Subjects 1-40 Subjects 1-40 Subjects 1-40 Subjects 1-40
8
Mixed (A Between, B Within) B 1 2 A 12 Subjects 1-20 Subjects 1-20 Subjects 21-40 Subjects 21-40
9
Notation for Factorials F The number of numbers tells you how many i.v.’s F The numbers tell you how many levels F A factorial with two i.v.’s which each have two levels is a 2 x 2
10
Notation for Factorials 2x22x33x4 How many i.v.’s? How many d.v.’s? How many conditions?
11
Types of Effects F Main Effect: the overall effect of one IV, averaging over the levels of the other IV F Interaction: the effect of one IV changes depending on the level of the other IV
12
Drug Therapy 1 2 1 2 40 60 40 mean recovery score No main effect of therapy No main effect of drug BUT the effect of the therapy depends on which drug is being taken
13
Why Factorials? F Reduce amount of non-systematic variance F Ability to measure interaction F Main effects can be misleading without considering the interaction
14
Looking at Means Tables F For main effects: – find marginal means (means of levels) – if marginal means are different, there is a main effect
15
Looking at Means Tables F For interaction: – find simple effects (effects of one variable for each level of other variable) – If simple effects change, there is an interaction
16

17

19

20
Looking at Graphs of Means F main effects: – visually estimate marginal means – if they are at different heights, there is a main effect
21
Looking at Graphs of Means F interaction: – parallel lines mean no interaction – non-parallel lines mean an interaction
